THE MICHIGAN DAILY YAN DAILY . R1 I -N vil meetings for the consideration of the movement both pro and con by recognized authorities. Had the attitude of those students who went to Detroit been really an interest in the workers and their cause, instead of a search for publicity, it seems likely that they would have attended the mass meeting held that night and presented the student attitude in a speech at that time. The Daily did not attempt to condone the un- necessary roughness of the police in dealing with these students, but it must be admitted that there were extenuating circumstances as far as the police were concerned. They were under orders to prevent any demonstration at Grand Circus Park and when the crowd rolled up with its crowd of singing, yell- ing, students they directed it away from the park several times, with ordinary traffic direction ges- tures, and each time it returned. They then de- cided that they would have to chase them away for good. They did, although unquestionably with altogether too much vigor. Finally, the remarks concerning Mr. Cheyfitz in The Daily editorial have been criticized. May we simply refer those who resent The Daily's stand on Mr. Cheyfitz to the stories which have appeared in The Daily in the last two years concerning him.

Clough-Leighter ROSA PONSELLE with her magic name, her glamorous personality, is the soloist who will star dn the opening Festival program, this evening. That the schedule of this season's presentation with seven famous singers, one pianist, one violin- ist, the Choral Union, the Young People's Chorus and the Stanley Chorus, is devoted in the main to singing is no drawback for the selections of works has been carefully planned for variety and interest; with the symphonic contributions, this season holds color and beauty for all those who will but listen. Dr. Stock will conduct the orchestra in its units on the program tonight: Bach Fugue, (Stock transcription), "La Mer" by Debussy, and Ravel's "Rapsodie Espagnole." The sea-piece shows De- bussy in the medium where he has excelled and where he has been influential, in orchestration. Ra- vel, interested in rhythm, has based his Rapsodie upon Spanish dance forms. The two works contain individual qualities that enable them to,be put on the same program, although their composers names are frequently linked as being synonymous. Ponselle will sing arias that are favorite with her, and that are manna to her audiences. The Rossini aria from Semiramide she sang here two years ago. She has triumphed time and again in Carmen, and in La Traviata, an aria from each of which she is singing. Her last group bespeaks grace, charm, color, and dash that are Ponsellian. -Sally Place. Screen Reflections The rating of pict ures is in accord wih the followng; Above is the new form of rating motion pictures in this column, which goes into effect beginning today. It had been found advisable to change from the old schedule of rating, the use of four, three, two, one and no stars, because it is felt that the reader will receive a clearer and more definite idea of the value of the pictures reviewed. A pictures will be only the very best, B will indicate pictures having worthy entertainment value, C's will signify aver- age, mildly entertaining pictures, D pictures should be stayed away from unless boredom is very acute, and an E picture will be considered absolutely worthless. -.C. A AT THE MAJESTIC "Man Of Two Worlds" Aigo.................Francis Lederer Joan....................Elissa Landi Sir Basil............Henry Stephenson Michael.........J. Farrel MacDonald Directed by"...........J. Walter Ruben The crowning indignity of American commercial methods in the cinema field is exemplified by the way a major circuit books films into one of its theatres. Not the fault of the local managers, many films are forced to play for seven days, while others are not bothered about nor publicized, and given a minimum run of two days. And it is usually the much superior picture that gets the rotten break. "Man Of Two Worlds" deserves to run for at least an entire week, instead of getting a measly two day's exhibition. It has almost everything a really good film should have. In addition to being swell entertainment, it is art with a capital A. A group of scientists on an expedition into the Arctic to catch polar animals for the sake of science, engage a young man, Aigo, the greatest hunter of the colony. Aigo's amazing intelligence and unfailing good humor make him a favorite among the company of explorers. Aigo constructs for his worship an idealist belief in a picture of the expedition leader's daughter and persuades the Englishmen to take him to England so that he may see the ideal in the flesh. They decide to grant him this favor, but from purely scientific motives. Aigo's problem of adjustment to a hypocritical civilization forms the basis of this film. This prob- lem is handled for once intelligently. It is not senti- mentalized, nor is it romanticized in the stereo- typed way. Director Ruben, a newcomer in the field, has lent a masterly touch to the production of this film and has turned out a product he can well be proud of. The acting of Francis Lederer is a welcome relief from the sophisticated eyebrow-lifting called act- ing. His interpretation of the character of Aigo is refreshingly sincere. The movies have gained an- other good actor. Here's hoping they don't make a stereotyped puppet out of him. The film's photog- raphy is beautiful. Its idea is an excellent one. The acting of everyone is free from flippancy. And the final effect is one of harmonious mating of true cinematic material with the full realization of the medium's possibilities. -J.C.S. A CORRECTION In the review of "Bottoms Up" which appeared in this column yesterday, the character "Smoothy" was erroneously stated to have been played by Lee Tracy. It should have been Spencer Tracy. -C.B.C. ADVANCE NOTICE All-Girl Show starts at the Michigan Tomorrow The Michigan is again presenting a stage show in conjunction with a full-length feature, "The Poor Rich." "Not a Man in a Stage Full" is the slogan used by Boyle Woolfolk's All-Girl Review in ad- vertising itself. Thirty-five girls are in this prom- ising stage attraction, which consists of the well- known Boston Brunette's Orchestra, the twelve Reggie Voorheees Girls, the famous Four Albee Sisters, Dell O'Dell, comedienne, Elaine Manzi, dancer and Marie Paris, the mistress of ceremonies. The show runs for three days, starting Thursday. he shows up, accompanied by white mice; she goes back into her trance. Her brother, Damon Wells, great actor (Martin Burton) is quite enraged at the reappearance of this dastardly incubus, and disappears to Philadelphia. About this time a wealthy foreigner makes his appearance, desiring to buy Jessica's interest in the show; Vance dickers with him; dark doings follow, ending in a really neat murder. There is also a middle-aged producer, a swell guy who loves Jessica; his name is Ben West (Phillip Dakin). Of course, it has often been pointed out that there is no such thing as a new plot, and no one can therefore blame a plot for being aged. Nevertheless, when one hits on a plot so conspicu- ously specialized as that of the return of a male- volent hypnotist, it is time to lay the dust on the script by careful application of dramatic Tarvia; else the business is sure to be recognized for what it is - bewhiskered nonsense. Messrs. Woolcott and Kaufman borrowed heavily from "The Lady from the Sea," but these gentlemen, wise as they are at sophisticated comedy, do not have Ibsen's tech- nique when it comes to serious drama. The result is a pretty weak piece of writing, which requires an outstandingly fine production and unusually good acting to make convincing. There was nothing unusually good about the De Forest production: three people are excellent, two were good, and the rest were mediocre or poor. Ap- parently no time had been spent on rehearsal: business was uncertain; lines were uncertain; cad- ences were uncertain; timing was completely lack- ing. The show moved on and on -the actors, it must be admitted, may have been disconcerted by a criminally small house, but most of the difficulty was inherent in lack of talent or lack of training.

T HERE HAS BEEN a great deal of criticism on the part of some groups on the campus of The Daily editorial of Thursday, May 3, criticizing the action of the group which went to Detroit to participate in the May Day activities. The position taken by that editorial was that the students who took part in the expedition, what- ever their motives, were to be censured and that they probably got what was coming to them. Most of the protests of the campus radicals have centered around the abridgement of the right of free speech and free assemblage. It seems that those who are making such a protest over these points do not realize that on May Day 14 parks and other public places had been set aside by the De- troit Commissioner of Police for anyone who wanted to meet peaceably and conduct a meeting. Grand Circus Park, where the truckload had its difficulties, being in the middle of the downtown business section, was one of the few places in the city where a gathering was prohibited. The fact that the police would not allow the students to demonstrate at one park when 14 others had been designated as permissible can hardly be called an abridgement of the right of free speech. Those students who have since claimed that their participation in the ride was purely for reasons of a sociological study of the May Day activities cer- tainly deserve criticism. A sociological study of the situation implies a disinterested, objective attitude. One would expect a sociology student to stand around on the edge and take notes, and if he were a true student of sociology rather than of the subject under discussion, he would take no active part in the activities. Contrast this with the attitude of those in the truck with banners on the side singing the "Internationale." Certainly this method of attending the meeting could hardly be called judicial disinterestedness. The conclusion is that either these .students were astonishingly ignorant of the conditions under which the trip was to be made and of the state of affairs in Detroit, or that they were not truly sociology stu- dents, neither conclusion very complimentary. There were some few students on the truck who have frankly admitted that their purpose was the forwarding of Communism and Socialism. Certain- ly anyone who has spent two or three years in a university should be beyond the mob stage of agi- tation. With the background which should have been accumulated in the course of a college edu- cation the proponent of any political faction should be able to take an unbiased and unprejudiced view of 't n , n ...r m vf T# , z+,. + .1 ThT TETheatre AT THE LYDIA MENDELSSOHN DANCE PROGRAM - A Review By JOHN W. PRITCHARD THE JOINT RECITAL last night of Play Pro- duction and Dance Club grew out of the great amount of acclaim that was given a similar pro- gram last semester. The first one was, however, chiefly a demonstration - an attempt to give a resume of the entire dance curriculum, and to show how the body co-ordination necessary in dancing was a great aid to acting poise and control. Last night's program was not a demonstration; it was truly a recital. Nothing was as elementary as the early numbers in the previous demonstration; all was well executed; it was an entertainment program, and worthy of laudation as such. To be especially noted were Wilckens "Study," the Gilbert and Sullivan "Cachucca" (repeated from "The Gondoliers"), the Faure "Pavanne" (re- peated from the earlier program), the "Political Meeting," the Chopin "Circular Design" (a solo by Collin Wilsey), the Tcherepnine "Parade," and the DeFalla "Invocation to Fire." It is to be ob- served that of these seven special citations, three were worked out by the groups involved without instruction. They all indicated excellent funda- mental grasp of dance principles, and great success on the part of Dance Club and Play Production in inculcating rhythm and control into their students. AT THE DETROIT WILSON "THE DARK TOWER"- A Review I AM BEGINNING to be worried about the De For- est Famous Players. The worriment was all begun Monday night, when I saw (along with about 300 other people, in a house with a capacity of somewhere near 1,500) an untrained company present a comedy-drama built about a situation that was great stuff when Hendrik Ibsen wrote "The Lady from the Sea," and later when a play known by a title something like "The Strange Case of Becky" made its appearance. Knowing that "The Dark Tower" was written by those master sophisticates, Alexander Woolcott and George S. Kaufman, one would expect a play that would rise well above the standard of medio- crity. "The Dark Tower" has its moments; it has a Organizations THE UNIVERSITY CHORAL UNION.......... . . ......30 Voices THE CHICAGO SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA..........70 Players YOUNG PEOPLE'S FESTIVAL CHORUS..............400 Voices THE STANLEY CHORUS...............................Women Chornl1W orks SONG OF PEACE (Ein Friedenslied) ..............Robert Heger NINTH SYMPHONY .................. . . . . .........Beethoven THE SEASONS .........................................Haydn THE UGLY DUCKLING .......... . .....................English BY THE RUINS OF BABYLON... . ... . .......... . ... ..Loefiler Cndu ctors EARL V.
